Thanks to your suggestion, I ran out and bought it and I'm reading it now. I'm only a few pages in, but it seems really interesting. =)

It would be so nice to hear those words. You are a very patient woman. (((((((W2G))))))) I wish I could wave a magic wand for you.

I don't know if there was one big bomb in my sitch, so it's hard to say exactly how I was feeling. I had my down days. I think the stress of a third party being involved in my marriage was getting me down, but when I tried to address with h, he brushed my feelings aside. That went on for many months - we'd have good months and a bad day now and then, but I was pretty much myself. People tell me they've never seen a person change from marriage as drastically as me... and for the better. I was so much happier after getting married. I think back to the woman my husband married - I don't even know who she is anymore. I have grown and changed and morphed into someone I can be proud of.

I'm an introvert until I get to know people a little. I think he and I are the same in that respect. Kind of reserved at first. He is very charming, which puts people at ease, whereas I am very easy going and adaptable, so people feel at ease.

Thanks again for the book suggestion. I'll be sure to let you know what I think.
